Interesting but why are people condemning homosexuals on company time? We should be doing our best for the employer. We can only imagine how Christians in Rome preached the gospel at their workplace. I can see the christians in Corinth espousing their new beliefs on the job.
As a society do we want Hindus, Moonies, Muslims, 7th Day Adventists, Jehovah Witnesses, Catholics, Methodists, Jews etc proselyting on company time? Do we want government employees elected or hired interpreting the Constitution through glasses colored by their specific religious beliefs? Or do we want them to bring ethics, morals, honesty into the workplace and into the running of our government?
I believe I have mentioned before that Christians have lost the moral high ground because of our secret use of pornography (research suggests a fair number of us (male and female) who claim Christianity view pornography regularly) our acceptance of immoral behavior on our televisions and movies as well as the idolization of the celebrity participants, and our lack of objection to unmarried heterosexuals cohabiting and receiving the associated tax benefits. When a couple cohabits (lives in sin) for a number of years the government as well as Christians consider them to be married. We have tolerated divorce for any reason and in our effort to be "Christian" tolerate and accept those so divorced into our midst with little objection. On the other hand if they were to play a piano on Sunday morning we would be unable to hold in our vociferous objections.
According to the sample verses below we should batten down the hatches and get ready to be blessed and to rejoice. Hallelujah! Amen!
Matthew 5:10-12
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[11] "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. [12] Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
John 15:20-21
Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. [21] But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
2 Tim. 3:12-13
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, [13] while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
We have had it pretty good for a long time. But it may be time to pay the piper for our concentration on getting Sunday morning right and letting the world go to . . .
